Who or what inspired you to pursue your current career? I have grown up working with my dad in this business. I have said since I was a little girl that I was going to follow in my dad’s foot steps and do exactly what he does.
What I like best about what I do is: I love getting to meet and talk to new people. The marketing aspect of the business is my favorite part and what I wish to pursue.
My greatest successes have been: Every day is a success. One of my favorite experiences has been seeing how COVID allowed us to be innovative and creative, helping to disinfect many commercial, residential and first responder buildings. My other great successes are being chosen for the People’s Choice Award three years in a row, The Best Small Business to Work At 2021, and the Mississippi GIBE award for community service.
What’s something interesting about you that not many people know? I am the bumble bee for Bay Pest Control on TV.
